Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank everyone who has spoken, and in particular Mr. Généreux.
We are in complete agreement with the comments made by numerous speakers concerning Treasury Board.
My colleague, Mr. Samson, spoke about amendment LIB‑6, but I would like to present a subamendment in order make a clarification, in response to Ms. Boyer's comments. This will contribute to the discussion begun by Mr. Généreux and Mr. Samson. I would ask the clerk to send this subamendment to all members of the committee. We could take a minute or two to read it. I could then continue the discussion on this subject.
We want to make sure that Treasury Board has more powers, that is one thing for sure. We are also looking at the common resources of Treasury Board and Canadian Heritage. As well, we are going to see how Treasury Board will ensure that the commitments are implemented, because we have to understand that Treasury Board is really not equipped to coordinate the entire process of implementing official language commitments everywhere in Canada.
The subamendment I have introduced, that you are going to receive shortly, would clarify that part to ensure that Treasury Board plays this important coordinating role. It would also allow for looking at the role of local actors.
Before continuing on the proposed change to the words on line 7 of page 4 of the bill, I want to make sure that all members have received the text of this subamendment.
Let me know, Mr. Chair.
